Previous Minutes:  No changes noted to minutes of last Committee meeting.  Minutes approved as posted.
Treasury Report:  Denise reported the Troop account at $9969.91.  Gregg motioned the report approved as noted, Samuel seconded.  Committee approved the treasury report.
Mark noted the Troop received $1000 helping with the Fish Fry.  He recommended the money earmarked for use for the Scouts to supplement Summer Camp fees or Recharter registration. Discussion ensued.  Gregg motioned $1000 set aside to defer cost of registration, Samuel seconded.  Committee approved the motion.
Mark stated the display box in the Parish Hall was running out of space. Committee suggested the completed Eagle plaques permanently mounted on the wall by the display case to allow more room in the case.  The Troop will need the Church's approval. 
Randy stated the Church needs a meeting schedule for the Troop.  The sooner it is sent in, the more likely the Troop will receive its request.
Other:  Randy and Mark along with members of the Church (Rosemary and Liz) had a meeting with Father Skip.  They discussed the needs for the Troop meeting room and what the Troop could do for the Church.  Father thought the Troop could do a project every month for the Church.  Troop representatives suggested developing a list of projects both long and short term.  The Troop is committed to painting to curbs at the Church on October 11.  Scout Sunday also set for February 16, 2009 at the 11:30am mass.
